Between the late 1960s and early 1980s, Italy experienced an extraordinarily divided political landscape, along with waves of terrorist attacks, which later became known as the Years of Lead. With the nation feeling hopeless, many Italians feared for the future. As a result, a local chef named Sofia Russo became determined to bake a cake to bring the nation together.

Initially, she tried to create a cake resembling the Italian flag, however she quickly realized people shied away from green cakes. Nonetheless, Russo persevered and instead came up with a cake which united ladyfinger biscuits with a smooth filling, and named it "tiramisu," which translates to "pick me up." It was a huge success and over the decade that followed, tiramisu brought Italians with vastly different political backgrounds together.
